CROYDON, N.H. —A one-man police department in New Hampshire was disbanded by a vote this week, leading its former chief to walk home from his office in his underwear in protest.
A motion abolishing the Croydon Police Department passed unanimously Tuesday night, according to a draft of the Croydon board of selectmen meeting minutes.
"The citizens that were up front were all surprised and shocked," former Chief Richard Lee said. "One was very angry. She had a case pending before the court that's now no good 'cause I can't prosecute it."
He was the only one on the force, working part-time, and had worked there since 2000.
